Thanks for the fork suggestion. I built my current bike up from scratch as my starter bike into the MTB world. I got a Cannondale Frame and a decent wheel set for $100 from a friend a couple of years ago and another friend threw in a bunch of parts to help me finish it and I had to purchase what he didn't have(which probably cost me about another $200). The only problem was that it was a 1994 Cannondale Frame which has a 1" head tube. Needless to say, my options for a suspension fork were very limited. I found a new upopened Rox Shox Quadra on ebay and bought that and put it on. Then I came across an unused RockShox Judy DH which is still on there. No one makes a suspension fork with a 1" steerer anymore so I think I took the frame as far as it could go. You all just gave me an idea. I may just go frame shopping to see what I can find in a newer frame (maybe something from this century) and swap the parts and get a newer fork with more travel. That should tie me over for a while.
